March and Saul Madness

I had a work trip to Las Vegas last week and had a great time visiting Erika and Brandon -- but I missed Saul and Andreas. Saul sent me a picture every day to make sure I didn't get too sad. Here are a few of them:

Saul took Andreas on a walk and had the first kitty interaction. Definitely a noteworthy moment for Saul

And here are just a few random pictures from the last week.
Saul said he inspired this picture.
Abuela and Abuelo sent this hat for Andreas, unfortunately a little small but fun just the same.
And here is Saul up to his usual antics -- throwing Andreas in a tub and dumping the toys on top.



Andreas's Uncle Sam made a cake and brought over a piece. Here he is enjoying it.

For the Naked Baby Lovers

Saul orchestrated this photo session, which I'm sure the naked baby lovers out there will appreciate. He thought it was SO funny! He went around the house laughing for about 20 minutes. Enjoy!



Naked Baby coming at ya!

Saul's 34th Birthday

Saul turned the big 34 on January 11th. After this, only mid to late thirties. Yikes! We had a cake and a little party with the Zims.

Christmas Day 2010

Christmas Day we waited upstairs until the appointed time to go down and see what Santa brought us. The kids played with blocks...
and they also played with anything else they could get their hands on.




Santa really outdid himself on the Christmas PJs for the boys this year. Super cute!

The PJs for the girls were cute too!


Waiting to go down and see the loot!

Andreas loved his See n' Say with the animal sounds
And Mom loved her ornaments
The aftermath...
Erika got some hats from Disneyland to put in stockings. They were really fun!
Stockings galore
More of the hats

Kid Mayhem 2010

For anyone that remembers this Christmas fondly, these pictures are to remind us of the mayhem that ensued. Here are the kids all playing together:

Does this sound familiar: "Hey! No playing with the firewood stuff!"
But they are so cute, how can you stay mad?

One happy moment captured



They were all so cute together though. Even when it sometimes drives us to the brink of insanity, it's fun to get the cousins together!

Texas Christmas 2010

This year we ended up having Texas Christmas Day before Texas Christmas Eve. It also seemed to come very fast since we were leaving so early for California.

Gotta love that "just woke up" look:
Santa brought a new couch for Andreas -- he loved it!




Then we went to Sam and Tiffany's house for Christmas Eve and had a great time. Here are the kids getting excited for presents!
I'm not sure what was happening here, and sorry the picture is fuzzy, but I think Zoe had the ornament entirely in her mouth.
